try on your machine

The command "nova start ${server}" is used to start a server in OpenStack using the Nova compute service.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"nova": This refers to the command-line interface (CLI) tool for managing resources in the OpenStack Nova service. It is used for managing compute resources such as instances (servers) in an OpenStack cloud.
"start": This is the subcommand of the "nova" command used to start a server. It instructs the Nova service to power on a previously created but currently stopped server.
"${server}": This is a placeholder for the actual name or ID of the server you want to start. It is usually replaced with the name or ID of the desired server. For example, if you want to start a server named "example-server", you would replace "${server}" with "example-server" like this: "nova start example-server". The "${server}" format is often used to represent variables or parameters that need to be specified by the user.

Overall, the command "nova start ${server}" is used to initiate the startup of a specific server in OpenStack using the Nova compute service.
